| Description |
Bay Cove Academy (BCA) is a psychoeducational program that serves an urban adolescent population (ages 13 to 21) from the greater Boston area with severe emotional, behavioral, and learning disabilities. The Career Development Program (CDP) is a component of BCA. It provides students with classroom and real-world employment skills training and community job placement, supported by job employment training specialists. CDP also helps students research and explore post-school career options. Under CDP, the job placement and career development is highly individualized, and appropriate job matching is emphasized for successful placement. |

The mission of this program is to stabilize students, help them earn their high school diploma, and prepare them for a future as productive workers. |
